| Subject: | front cockpit entry |
I just saw a video of Michael Cuy demonstrating the "proper" technique for
entry into the front cockpit and I no longer question the need for a front
door that might weaken the overall structure or add complexity (especially
if the wing is higher, like most of the AirCampers I've seen- at Brodhead
.)- I wish I had seen that video first.- It reminds me of learning to f
ly, it looks challenging, but with care, patience and proper instruction, i
t can be done with ease.- Thanks for all the great input on front door to
cut or not to cut.- P.S. my bride and I are expecting our first baby Pie
t copilot any day now, so I think I'll be renting Waldo Pepper to watch as
I wait for the contractions to come and go.- I'm sure it will help her ta
ke her mind off things, and from the sounds of it, there are some great lin
es I could try quoting during the delivery!

Oscar,
I had my GN-1 wing spar brackets cut out on a waterjet machine. They actually
cut two 0.062" plates of steel at the same time, it was very impressive. All
the machine shop needs is an AutoCad drawing and the material, I think cutting
out 16 brackets cost me about $125, which was cheaper than emachineshop.com and
a lot faster.
The waterjet machine can cut very precisely, but be aware it leaves microscopic
groves on the cut edges that probably should be polished out to inhibit cracking
(since you're a mechanical guy you probably already know this!).
Regards,
John F.

Now you're talking Matt Keyes-- forgettabout the door. Save weight and add simplicateness....
or what did Bernard Pietenpol used to say....simplicate and add lightness--that's

I'll mention Bill Rewey's packet of details and ideas
once again. Among the details that Bill's packet
includes is a metal bracket that he uses for his GPS
and another for his handheld. Worth taking a look at.
Maybe there is a picture of it among the pix of Bill's
airplane at westcoastpiet.com or maybe somebody took
a pic inside Bill's airplane.

Thanks to all who replied. Of course I knew about DJ's aluminum
parts and his experience with the online parts fabricator, but
I was looking for the one that Peter Johnson sent me.
Still wondering if the Cozygirlzzz are going to offer parts or
fabrications...

Hi Jeff. It would be interesting to hear other views on the airplanes antics and
movements during my very quick side slide to the East. Just to see if they
parallel with mine.
And by the way the FAA has not kept my out of the air, I will take a FAA check
ride in a J3 Cub around the end of the month or maybe sometime in September, or
as they indicate ?????????. I will suggest, save our tax payer's money and just
default, don't show etc. etc.. I wish that I could give him a ride as shown
in the latest Vintage Kent Pictsch article. The truck top landing is a little
tricky with 25 to 30 crosswinds. Was there and done that.

Hi Jody.
A great shot, that is just as the puff hit with gusto, Notice that the tail is
planted, the stick is full left and back,as the right gear cross bar took a (
Z ) shape. The photo also shows that the prop has not yet touched the surface.
The right wing did not touch until I had slid to the grass. and then just touch
the front corner of the end bow, with about 1/8 " scraped off the fabric'.
And you all might want to know that that B crank is well under .001 run-out and
Magniflux good.The crank extension will be replaced
Other photos are great.

I am using the Aero Carb on my corvair, and I am trying to tune it up. Does anyone
else have this combination and, if so, what are your experienses with, and
do you like the carb? Cheers, Gardiner Mason

Pieti,
I did not get a chance to see the entire events transpire as we were watching the
lead plane ahead of you fight the same gusts of wind. We thought he was going
to loop and were concentration on him. But like I said earlier, my fellow volunteers
and I were glad to see that you were out and ok.
Last year I got my tail dragger endorsement and know enough to almost keep me out
of trouble and yet still be dangerous, and I would consider myself lucky to
have even a of the hours you have, but for those two days I thought that many
of the tail dragger's would have preferred 27 to stay a bit more into the wind?
Im remembering that the wind was almost due west. Even the spam can mass arrivals
were fighting it pretty hard. Just wanted to know what you thought.
Also, would you have any suggestions for a potential new builder with next to no
experience in building aircraft? I saw mikes post and watching the replies.
Also, Im reading Tonys books, went to the fabric forms at Oshkosh, and plan to
go to more next year as well. I probably buy the plans from Pietenpol family,
the whole set with longer fuselage, gear, builders notes, etc. I will try to
find the EAA video on wood aircraft. Other than that, I dont know really were
to actually start? Will it become clearer after looking at the plans? I would
like to start building some wing ribs or start on something, but I am on a project
in southern Indiana right now and am significantly limited.
I'm glad to hear you are still flying as I am taunted by crop dusters on a daily
bases and want to do something airplane related!
Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Matt,
No need to rent TGWP. Give me a call and you can borrow mine. Your wife is a
jewel to let you watch that! And yeah there are a lot of memorable quotes in
that movie.......and everyone on this forum knows it! In case it is an extended
labor (this is the voice of experience here), might I suggest High Road to
China with Tom Selleck and 2 very ratty looking Stampe biplanes. Heaven knows,
you don't want to run out of things to watch. Good luck.
Paul
P.S. I know I'll get flamed for this, but I always thought that High Road to China
was the better of the two movies.

Gardiner,
The Corvaircraft email list would probably be a good place to get
information on the Corvair/AeroCarb combo. Every so often it comes up in a
discussion. You might try searching for 'Aerocarb' at the Corvaircraft
archives located at: http://www.maddyhome.com/corvairsrch/frame/index.jsp.
Based upon casual observation, it seems that just as many people have
trouble getting the Aerocarb to run correctly as those that succeed with it.
In one of William Wynne's posts he mentions Joe Horton (a KR guy) as a
person that has had plenty of firsthand experience with the Aerocarb, and
has been able to get it running well, and who likes the carb as well. The
last email address for him I can find from the archives is:
joe.kr2s.builder@juno.com. You may try dropping him a line. Good luck, gotta
get back to work. :P
Have a good day,
Ryan

I bought a brand new ICOM A-6 just for the big arrival into OSH only to-f
ind out that I didn't-need it after all. It has a rechargable NIMh pack a
s well as a drycell pack and the adaptor for a headset and of course, a cha
rger and a little leash and removable belt clip.
-
The only thing I have done is charge the NIMh pack and load up the AA cells
into the other back. It's probably been turned on a total of 20 minutes. S
till in the box and ready to go.

Read about the radio on the Icom website or any avionics ad. Seems like a g

Gardiner,
You heard some decent things about Aero Carb, but you may wish to contact
Brandon Tucker, btucke73@yahoo.com. I don't think he is such a great fan,
and in fact I think he replaced his Aero Carp with something else. Brandon
flies a 601HDS that I think he put up for sale before his latest deployment
to Iraq or Afghanistan. I would be surprised, though, if he does not still
answer to the above email. Good luck...

Gardiner,
You heard some decent things about Aero Carb, but you may wish to contact
Brandon Tucker, btucke73@yahoo.com. I don't think he is such a great fan,
and in fact I think he replaced his Aero Carp with something else. Brandon
flies a 601HDS that I think he put up for sale before his latest deployment
to Iraq or Afghanistan. I would be surprised, though, if he does not still
answer to the above email. Good luck...

I am using the Aero Carb on my corvair, and I am trying to tune it up. Does
anyone else have this combination and, if so, what are your experienses
with, and do you like the carb? Cheers, Gardiner Mason

Now you're talking Matt Keyes-- forgettabout the door. Save weight and add
simplicateness....
or what did Bernard Pietenpol used to say....simplicate and add
lightness--that's it.
You'll enjoy watching the movie but beware if your wife goes into labor
while watching that
movie--she may have flashbacks for the rest of your days saying "there I was
writing in pain
giving birth to your firstborn and you're watching that stupid barnstorming
movie !"
Keep us posted--congratulations !

Pietenpol builder with Corvair
HI Gary,
We are finally on our way home; now in Wall SD and heading for Montana tomorrow.
Gardiner,
Glad to hear you are so far along with your Piet. It was nice to meet you at Brodhead
and be able to put a face to the name. Gary is ahead of me but hope to
catch or at least keep the gap from growing when I get back home and start working
on my Piet again.
I have a Stromburg NAS-3 on my corvair; got it from Russ at D&G and it looks like
it is brand new he does such good work on them. I decided I wanted a reliable
well known carb for my Piet as there are so many other things that might cause
me to spend extra time. Trying to get myself to quit adding and modifying
and build it as much like Bernard as I can. Also the only way to keep close
to the speed demon Gary.
Cheers Gardiner,
Jim

I have to apologize boys. I didn't realize those radio
pics hadn't been reduced to my usual 130kb.
I always take pics at the highest resolution on the camera.
This means that when I do reduce them they will still be
sharp in magnification. It appears I have been remiss in
my reductions.

Fellas,
It looks like that Pober Junior Ace with the Rotec didn't escape Oshkosh
2009 unscathed afterall:

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds like a rough week for
a lot of folks.
Sorry about the misfortune at the Big Show.
